Porosimeter is a device used to measure the porosity of a paper by measuring the rate of the flow of air through a paper sample.

Porosimeters

Porosimetry is an analytical technique used to determine various quantifiable aspects of a material's porous nature, such as pore diameter, total pore volume,surface area, and bulk and absolute densities.The technique involves the intrusion of a non-wetting liquid at high pressure into a material through the use of a porosimeter. The pore size can be determined based on the external pressure needed to force the liquid into a pore against the opposing force of the liquid's surface tension.
